This doesn't have a title yet, but it starts at the end of Martin the
Warrior when Rose dies. I'm making her just fall into a coma instead!
R/R!!! PLEASE!!! NO FLAMES!!!
Martin, Grumm, and Pallum walked in the middle of a great forest. It was early morning, with dewdrops shimmering on colorful red-orange leaves in the midst of huge trees below a gray black sky, stretching out across the horizon with the sun just peeping out from behind the clouds. Martin was carrying the inert form of Rose, not saying anything.
"Baint no wunder Marthen be's loike this." said Grumm."Oi just sent him off to-a gather foirewudd, and oi think he's gone off to shed tears furr Rose."
"Yes, there's no doubt about it. Martin has. He's always had a soft spot for her." said Pallum. " I don't think he could go to Noonvale again. Memories. Far too many of 'em for Martin."
Martin walked along to a pond in the forest, weeping shamelessly at its edge. It was then that Martin saw Rose wake up suddenly.
" Rose?" he said, dry eyed.
"Oh, the last thing I remember is Badrang throwing me into the wall and... Martin!" said Rose. "Is that you? Where are the others? Where are we? Where's Badrang? Wh..." She slumped down immediatly into a faint.
"Rose... I'll get you back to the others, and we'll all go to Noonvale!"
As Martin came back, he told them what had happened.
"I think Rose had just fallen into a coma. She woke up, muttered something, and fainted."
"Ho arr, so she was just in a coma? Boi 'okey, that'n surrpintly surrpised me, it did."
"Well, for one, I'm glad about that."
Rose woke up again.
"Wurrgh! You'm furr scared me thurr, boi 'okey you did!"
"Hunh?... Where am I? Oh, hi Pallum, Grumm, and Martin. Tell me,where are we?"
" Hurr, Rose youm be's aloive! We were jus' on our way to Noonvale to say youm be's dead, but youm baint, Boi 'okey youm baint!"
"I don't think I could ever go back. Badrang killed Brome, didn't he?"
"Yes, he did, Rose..." said Martin. "It was all my fault. I shouldn't have let him jump into battle like that, especially with Badrang... I can never go back to Noonvale. I caused all of this troub-"
"No you didn't!" Rose interrupted. "It wasn't your fault. It wasn't my fault. It was nobeast's fault!"
"Burr, yur roight, Rose."
"Well, I guess we'll all go to Noonvale. But first, Rose needs to rest."
The plan was wholeheartedly agreed to. They all slept on the forest floor amid the tall trees, blanketed by the stars, not knowing that all around them, shadowy forms were looming in the darkness, waiting to attack.
